Dankook University Shares AI-Driven Vision for the Future of Higher Education

Soon-Cheol An, President of Dankook University, was officially invited to attend the World University Presidents’ Forum held from July 7 to 9, hosted by Tamkang University in Taiwan. The forum, celebrating Tamkang University’s 75th anniversary, brought together presidents and senior leaders from 36 universities across 11 countries to discuss Digital Transformation and Sustainable Development in Higher Education.
